pointed, unless sooner removed and shall
receive salary Of five thousand dollars a

formation upon the subject of labor, its
relation to capital, the hours of labor, the
rate of wages, the cost of production of

promoting their material, social, intellec.
tual and moral prosperity, and the best
means to protect life and prevent accident

powered to inquire into the cause of dis
content which may exist between EN-.
ployers and employees within the United
States, and he may invite and hear sworn

The official announcement is made OF
the purchase by the Richmond Terminal
Of the controlling interest in the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia, and the
Richmond and Danville. The new COM
pany will control some four thousand miles
Of railroad running through the richest
part of the South, from Virginia to Mis-
sissippi, with branch line to the Allan
tic seaboard, below Savannah. The pur-
chase money is raised by an issue of Rich
mond Terminal stock and the creation of
collateral trust bond aggregating Ss22, 500.-
900. The purchase of the East Tennessee
system was accomplished by the majority
of the first preferred stock, which, by a
curious provision, controls the company
absolutely for the next four years. The
minority of the first preferred holders
threaten asnit which would briug up the in.
teresting legal question whether MAORI.
ty of stockholders can make bargain
which includes the control of the property
without allowing the minority chance to
accept the same terms. There are two
other classes of stock under the first pre-
ferred which obtain 10 benefits, and the
holders also threaten suit.

rlage between one person of one sex and
more than one person of another sex. and

corporations known as the Church of Lat
ter Day Saints and the Perpetual Emigra-
ton Fund Company are dissolved, and the
Attorney General is directedto wind them
up by process of court and all laws for
the organization of the militia Of the ter
ritory and the creation of the Nauvoo Lee
gion are annnlled. Polygam lists are made
ineligible to vote, and test oath is pre-
scribed to all persons desiring to vote, that
they may obey the laws of the United

pointment, by the President, of all judges
and selectmen of the county and probate
courts, and by the Governor, of all JUS
tices OF the peace, sheriffs, constables,
and other county and district officers.
